Description
Philosophy and the Book examines the philosophical mobilization of metaphors for print, inscription, reading and knowledge organization in early modern philosophical texts in continental Europe. Primarily engaging with the work of Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz and Bayle while also touching on Valla, Gassendi, Hobbes, Lamy, and others, the book explores the effect the explosion of early modern print technology, textual distribution and related cultural practices had on the early modern philosophical imagination. Daniel Selcer foregrounds a series of figures that were extremely important to many early modern philosophers as they sought to develop positions on the nature of the material world and our knowledge of it. He explores significant questions for the history of early modern philosophy in relation to the problem of the material- ity of philosophical discourse and counterpoises these considerations with approaches in late twentieth-century continental philosophy, such as Foucaultian archaeology and Derridean deconstruction. Finally, through rhetorical analysis and historical contextualization, Selcer begins to sketch an ‘ontology of the page’. Hugh J. Silverman - Series Editor II.

Dees
Contemporary Studies in Philosophy and the Human Sciences Series Editors: Hugh J. Silverman and Graeme Nicholson
"Peter Kemp, the internationally known Danish philosopher, is not only an excellent expert in modern French thought, but he has also made substantial contributions to the contemporary debate on human values, envi- ronment and civil rights. In this book, he presents his cosmopolitan ideas about education. In a world marked by cultural provincialism along with economic and political inequities, it is necessary to find new ways in pedagogy that makes the increasing responsibility of everybody evident in a situation where most of our ac- tions have far-reaching consequences also for those living far away. Verdensborgeren (Citizen of the World) is a brilliant book worthy of a wide international readership. —Sven-Eric Liedman, professor of history of ideas and theory science, Gothenburg University, Sweden
To be a cosmopolitan—i.e., a citizen of the world first and only secondarily a member of a particular nation—is an ideal that has a long history. It dates back to the ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes of Sinope in the third century BCE. If someone asked him where he came from, he would only reply, “I am a citizen of the world.”
In this overview of the cosmopolitan ideal, philosopher Peter Kemp argues that in the twenty-first century cosmopolitanism is more relevant than ever before. In fact, he in- sists that it is the only viable guiding ideal for politics and education in an increasingly interdependent world.
Kemp begins with an analysis of our current situation. Financial globalization, intercultural coexistence, and our joint responsi- bility to sustain world resources and preserve the climate are significant, unprecedented challenges that call for a cosmopolitan perspective. Small groups of individuals or nations cannot manage these problems alone.
He next traces the history of the cosmopolitan ideal from the Stoic philosophers of the classical period through the development of canon law in Christian medieval Europe to the Enlightenment of Immanuel Kant, who infused his legal philosophy with a cosmopolitan viewpoint.
Kemp concludes with a thorough analysis of the tasks of our contemporary era. To tackle our enormous common problems to- day, we need new ideas about learning and cultivation in order to enhance a cosmopolitan ideal in both education and politics.

by Maurice Merleau-Ponty
edited by Hugh J. Silverman coedited with James Barry, Jr.
Humanities Press, 1992; Revised paperback edition, 1996. Now available from Humanity Books/Prometheus Books.
Preface by Jacques Taminiaux
Original French edition collected and edited by Jean Deprun English translation by Paul B. Milan edited by Patrick Burke
This volume is the English translation of sixteen lectures by Maurice Merleau-Ponty given at the École Normale SupTrieure in 1947-48 and reconstituted on the basis of notes taken by some of his most outstand- ing students. Devoted to three of the great names in the French philosophical tradition, Malebranche, Maine de Biran, and Bergson, these lectures center on a classic problem: the union of the soul and the body. They reveal a line of reasoning that Merleau-Ponty had already traced in The Structure of Behavior and Phenomenology of Perception, and anticipate later developments of his innovative philosophical inquiry in Signs and The Visible and the Invisible.
In these lectures Merleau-Ponty demonstrates how Malebranche had articulated an early phenomenol- ogy of the human condition, how Maine de Biran had anticipated the central project and related themes of the Phenomenology of Perception, and how certain features of Bergson's method announce key ele- ments of the philosophical methodology expressed in Merleau-Ponty's later works. This volume contains one of Merleau-Ponty's most sustained explications and critiques of BergsonÆs Matter and Memory, and, more important, his only major presentation and critique of the thought of Maine de Biran.

With an exceptional competence, rigorous analysis, and a great clarity of expres- sion she first undertakes to reconstruct the very meaning of the ontological question for which the investigation of temporality provides a preliminary answer. . . . This is a clear, thorough, and most intelligent work.” —Paul Ricoeur
Lingis contests holistic conceptions of phe- nomenology and existential philosophy, and he refutes the primacy of perception and the practicable world. By contrast, he seeks to elucidate the substantive (sensual and excit- able) body. He shows that in contact with other sentient beings, an imperative that is addressed to us precedes and makes possible their capacity to order us with the meanings of their words and gestures. Written in clear, vivid language free of all unnecessary techni- cal jargon. Hugh J. Silverman and Graeme Nicholson- Series Editors III.
